As long as it is not interfering with your life, that's fine lol :)
I think it's perfectly fine. I don't see why "boys" only get to keep their teddies. sometimes I miss a few of the ones I had when I was younger. I think it's a good thing if it helps you as long as it doesn't prevent you from looking for a girl friend when you get older and are ready for one.
reading most of the comments makes me miss my old teddies (no longer around) a few of them I really loved too.
Nope! Not weird. I have this heart shaped pillow that's super soft I cuddle with. And I don't like to sleep with pants lol so I guess that qualifies? Anyway it's normal, I cuddle my blankets and pillows
I feel the same as you. One of my old soft toys fell down from one of my cabinets recently. Feeling too lazy to throw it back in, i decided to put it next to me as i sleep. I feel quite attached to it now. Nope. Not weird.
Perfectly normal. I had a blankie and a stuffed lamb for most of my life, as I got older my mom and stepdad wanted to get rid of them but I never allowed it. I'm 20 years old and still sleep with both of them, oh and I sleep in the nude too.
To answer your question, it is weird. But it sounds like it's helping you deal with stress in this time of your life. You should talk with your therapist about it. (S) he might give you better insight with a back-and-forth conversation.
I think it's cute lol. As long as you don't have sex with it should be fine
It's not weird its really sweet. I always find ti cute and attractive when a guy has a stuffed animal he cherishes and I believe a lot of other girls would agree with me.
I'm always reluctant to get out of bed and there isn't even a teddy bear here.
On another note, why is your bear a 'she'?
Well, nearly everyone is reluctant to get out of bed, but now extremely so because getting out of bed would also mean having to let go of Teddy.
It's a "she", because I just feel more affectionate towards females. (which is to be expected). "Her" comforting me is more consoling for me than "him".
This is just so peculiar though. lol
It reminds me of the character Linus van Pelt on Charlie Brown, but it is what it is.
A bit unrelated thing, but ever since I was a kid, I was always moving places. That means I didn't get to keep toys and other stuff, those would be thrown away every time we moved. Guess I learned to live without material stuff although me and my brothers would support each other. Even when I go visit someone else's house, it's a completely different environment - most people have stuff they inherit from their parents and grandparents and lots of decoration.
What I'm saying is, you don't sound like you have siblings or someone who can relate to what you're going through and you can talk to openly (therefore you go to therapy?) and hence you got attached to the Teddy Bear. It's fine. We all need someone or something and I think it's just a phase for you.
You kidding? I snuggle with my bear all the time and Im 21. As a matter of fact when my guy left last week he gave me my bear to comfort me in some way.
Not any more weird than the hole in the bum of my teddy bear.
Is it bad?
No but he doesn't like to cuddle afterwards.
*breathes even more new life in your question*
No, not weird at all, I have a baby doll I hug when I fall asleep for the same security blanket type purposes.. I leave it at home if I sleep somewhere else though. It's fine until you get a partner, then it's time to kiss the bear goodbye..
Just saw you miss the bear during the day.. probably not healthy... I would consider talking to someone about it if it gets worse..
I don't really miss it anymore.
It's a bit dangerous to ask that kind of question on a public forum. Your actions reflect your past. This is something to speak with a professional who can help you understand why you are acting that way or feeling how you feel.
i have a teddy bear too, and i sleep with it but i dont miss it through out the day thats just weird hahah
I don't really "miss" it in actuality.
well maybe your seeking for love from a teddy bear because your parents are not providing as much physical contact type of love
Honestly its a bit creepy that you are making out with your teddy bear lol you must either be really bored or sadly turned on by it lol
I am not making out with her. None of this is sexual as I said. I give it pecks.
... lol
I think you need help man. I play league but i know a lot of anti social weird league players who are just downright having problems in life. I don't know its like a trend for league players. See someone and get over your teddy bear.
I haven't played league in months actually...
Yes it is weird but if it works for you it works for you. Just make sure its secret from people you aren't close to, in order to avoid unnecessary ridicule
You need, love, care, affection and attention from human it's weird but if it's make u feel better it's good but don't get into it to much...
OMG MY TEDDY BEAR'S NAME IS MR. SNUGGLES!!! he is better than your teddy bear by the way...
not weird at all. I've got like, a billion stuffed animals on my bed and i talk to them and cuddle with them. i even named all of them. stuffed animals are the best cuddle buddies ever
